P0302 (Cylinder 2 misfire)
Got the above code on my Kia 2008 Rondo 6 cyl. 2.7 liter engine. Car runs crappy!
I will diagnose the problem, HOWEVER, does the computer shut down the fuel to cylinder 2 because it is misfiring? When I had this trouble with my Chevy Silverado 5.3 liter (bad spark plug wire), replacing the wire did not solve the problem since the computer shut the cylinder down. This makes diagnosis very difficult (cannot simply swap wires, spark plugs or coils). If this is the case does anybody know how to 'reset' the computer. I know how to erase the code but I don't think that is the same thing. All replies appreciated, Ivan Vegvary |

Computers don't "shut cylinders down" when there is a running problem.

Testing shows the injector gets its firing pulse until the number of misfires hits 200 or so, then the signal is cut off, and the "misfire" code is set. The cylinder is then "dead" until the code is cleared, and it starts all over. |
